Both as .docx. We open the journal’s own template and pour your writing into it, so the layout is theirs, not our imitation of it. Your words are never changed — nothing is rewritten, summarised or generated.
Don’t have it yet? It comes from the journal, not from us — look on their Instructions for authors, Submission guidelines or Manuscript preparation page for a Word template. A PDF of the guidelines is not the template.
Some templates are specimen articles whose running head still carries the original author’s name. Ticking this replaces just that text with your first author. Headers are otherwise never touched.
This usually takes a second or two. Leave the page open.
Preview it below, then download it. Open it in Word next to the template to give it a final read.
Download it first — both files you uploaded and the formatted result are deleted automatically after 7 days. You can delete them now instead.
Formatting a paper by hand takes an hour or two, every time, for every journal. Upload your finished paper and the journal’s Word template, and you get it back laid out in about 40 seconds — as a new file, with your own left exactly as you wrote it.
Word files only (.docx) · Formatting and preview are free · PDF download free, with a watermark · Word file $9 for five · We delete your file after 7 days, or the moment you ask
Any journal. You give us its template, so there is no list to search and nothing to wait for.
We only take Word files. PDF and LaTeX are not accepted.
This is a demo on a sample paper. Your own file never leaves your computer on this page.
None of it is research. All of it has to be done. And you do the whole thing again for the next journal.
Different headings, different reference style, different order. You read the rules, then you do it all by hand.
Rejected on Friday, sending it somewhere else on Monday. New template, new reference style. All of it, again.
A missing statement. A table nothing points to. Six weeks waiting, then it comes back from an editor who never got to the science.
Look before you download. You see the formatted paper next to your own, your file stays exactly as you wrote it, and you can delete everything the moment you want to.
No list of journals to search through. You already have what we need: your paper, and the template the journal gave you.
Your finished paper, and the journal’s template. Both as .docx. That is all we need.
We work out how that journal wants headings, spacing, references and section order — then put your paper into it.
Every change is listed. Put back anything you disagree with, then download your paper, title page and blind copy.
Word only. We do not take PDF or LaTeX — a PDF cannot be re-laid out honestly, so we would rather not pretend.
Plain names for exactly what they do. Formatting is ready now. Validation is nearly there.
Give us your paper and the journal’s template. Get back a paper that already fits it.
Paste the journal’s author instructions. Find out what would get your paper sent back — before you send it.
Reference formatting, section order, heading levels, title page, line numbers, line spacing, fonts, margins, table layout and where captions go.
An abstract that is too long. A heading that could sit at two levels. A citation with no reference to match it. We would rather ask you than be quietly wrong.
We do not write, rewrite, shorten or interpret anything. We change how it looks. What it says stays yours.
Every change is listed, and you can compare the result against your original before you download. Your own file is never altered.
Sent over an encrypted connection, kept apart from every other run, and deleted for good after 7 days, or the moment you press delete. We never use it to train anything.
Measured on the live service with real journal submissions of 5,600 to 15,300 words: fastest 3 seconds, slowest 13. Doing the same job by hand takes one to two hours, and longer if the template is fussy.
No subscription. Credits never expire, and you only spend them when you download a Word file. Files are deleted after 7 days.
Format and preview as many papers as you like — no card needed for any of this.
100 credits. A Word file costs 20, so that is five papers.
No, journals do not mind. We change how your paper looks, never what it says. That is the same kind of help a copy-editor or a typesetting service gives, and every major publisher allows it. We never write, reword, shorten or interpret your science, and you see every change listed before you download anything.
It travels to us over an encrypted connection and is kept apart from every other run, and deleted for good after 7 days — or straight away, if you press delete. We never use it to train anything. Your files are processed on our own server and deleted after seven days; the privacy notice sets out exactly what is kept and what is not.
We do not publish an accuracy percentage, because we have not yet measured one we would be willing to defend in front of a reviewer. We would rather say that than pick a number that sounds good. What we do promise is checkable in the file itself: your own file is never altered, you get a new one to open and check, and not one word of your science is rewritten. Decisions only you can make — an abstract over the limit, a heading that could sit at two levels, a citation with no reference to match it — are flagged and we suggest a fix. A confident wrong answer would cost you more time than an honest question.
Word .docx only, for both your paper and the journal’s template. Older .doc files are not accepted — open one in Word and “Save As” .docx first. We do not take PDF or LaTeX. A PDF is a picture of a finished page, not a document you can honestly re-lay out, so we would rather say no than hand you something broken. Your original file is never changed — everything you download is a new file.
It is the second thing we do, and it is nearly ready. You paste the journal’s author instructions — the whole page, however long — and we go through them line by line, work out which rules can actually be checked in a document, and check your paper against every one of them. You get a results page grouped into length, sections, required statements, references, authors, tables and layout, plus your paper back marked up in Word: small fixes as tracked changes you accept or reject, and anything we should not decide for you highlighted with a comment explaining it. It will never write a citation, a reference or a declaration for you — choosing which source backs up a sentence is your claim to make, not ours. Join the list and you get it first.
There is no list, so there is nothing to be missing from. You upload the Word template the journal gives its authors, and we work from that. It means any journal works from day one — including a new one, a small one, or your department’s own house style.
Upload your paper and the journal’s template, and watch it come back fitted in under a minute. Free to try, nothing to install, no card until you want the Word file.
